Analyze a product Photoshop

Andrew said in the film Objectified that he feels designing is really the search for form, what form should the object take.

From the interview with Charles Eames, Madame Amic asked “Can the computer substitute for the designer?” Charles said probably, in some special cases, but usually the computer is an aid to the designer.

Photoshop is truly an example of aid the designer to create works. There are so many different kinds of software as Illustrator, Quartus 2, ModelSim, DSP Builder and Vectorworks, etc. Those are the method to help designer develop their works. As the most popular software Photoshop, it created by Thomas and John Knoll in 1987 and published by Adobe Company until 1990. It has been taken fourteen times to transform, the newest version is CS5. Each version has its unique logo; consumer will notice that is the newest version.

Photoshop is a product that has been designed, but it also is a form to recreate another design works. Even though designer has a good program to help for designing, it doesn’t mean they can create good design. As the designer Dieter Rams said, “Good design should be innovative, useful aesthetic and understandable. Also good design is honest, unobtrusive, long-lived and consistent in every detail.” Design has to take many processes, and it is important to know what are the purpose and content that you want to bring to the audience. Without an idea and purpose, no matter how beautiful is the work; audience will not get the connection for it.
